Dental Public Health and Research: Contemporary Practice for the Dental Hygienist

Product Description

Taking Stock in Delinquency is the comprehensive synthesis of the empirical findings of seven important ongoing longitudinal studies of delinquency. The seven projects included in this volume represent much of the diversity found in individual-based panel studies of antisocial behavior. Individually and collectively, the results of these investigations have been published in a wide range of disciplinary outlets, thus making it difficult to identify common themes and general principles. This volume intends to provide a comprehensive and unified picture of empirical results, both within these studies and across them. One of the fundamental purposes of Taking Stock in Delinquency is to examine the extent to which these studies answer the basic question of the origins of delinquent and criminal careers despite their varying guiding theories, methods, and settings.

Taking Stock in Delinquency is an important resource for criminologists, psychologists, sociologists, and upper-level students on juvenile delinquency, criminology, developmental psychology, and deviant behavior.

Workbook for Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing

Product Description
The latest addition to the Library of Analytical Psychology is an outstanding collection of papers written by Jungian analysts from different schools of analytical psychology on various aspects of psychopathology. The subjects covered include depression, anorexia, schizoid personality, narcissistic personality disorder, mania, psychosis, paranoia, masochism, fetishism, transvestisism, perversion, marital dysfunction, survivor syndrome, and old age.

The contributors, who include some of the most creative and distinguished clinicians in the Jungian world today, are: Gustav Dreifuss, Alan Edwards, Michael Fordham, C.T. Frey-Wehrlin, Rosemary Gordon, Judith Hubback, Peer Hultberg, Mario Jacoby, Thomas Kirsch, Rushi Ledermann, Fred Plaut, Joseph Redfearn, Nathan Schwartz-Salant, Eva Seligman, Anthony Storr, Mary Williams and Luigi Zoja.

The book is intended to appeal beyond the Jungian community, and the editor’s introductory remarks which precede each paper highlight (and where necessary explain) concepts and attitudes which seem special to analytical psychology. In this way, as with Andrew Samuels’ previous edited volume The Father: Contemporary Jungian Perspectives, psychoanalytically and eclectically orientated practitioners can make full use of this book.

Clinical Handbook for Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing

Product Description
Psychopathology is intended for first-year graduate students in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and related fields, and it has been specifically designed to meet the needs of students in these courses. Maddux and Winstead have brought together the most distinguished researchers in the fields of clinical psychology and psychopathology in order to provide up-to-date information about theory and research, as well as to challenge students to think critically about psychopathology. Thoroughly revised and updated from the previous edition, the book focuses throughout on what has been demonstrated by research, not on what has been claimed by theories that may be accepted or traditional but lack empirical support. The first section presents and analyzes the basic concepts we need to understand any disorder; the second examines the disorders most frequently encountered in clinical practice.
